NO MORE PHOTO-MANIPULATION "art". I'll just delete them. People have been drenching recent threads with several pieces at a time that they've knocked out in photoshop in 2 minutes with no thought at all. I consider this to be taking the piss now.

No more than ONE submission by any one person in any one REMAKE/REMODEL.

So here's the deal:

You are an artist/designer.

You have to put together the cover for #223 of something called NEW WORLDS.

You have been told that NEW WORLDS is the most groundbreaking, forward-looking, ambitious and original science fiction magazine in the world.

I could not resist. The original is one of my favourite covers on anything ever. ]]>

Best SF stories from New Worlds" - the one from Panther Books in the link #8 was edited by Michael Moorcock (as were the previous 7). That one is imported - but they usually also had a Berkley release as well - those would sport a Jeff Jones or Vincent diFate cover as far as my memory recalls ... But I don't have a clue what the actual UK Magazine looked like. And research indicates there were quarterlies every year.

Hello Whitechapel! I'm new here and trying to figure out how this works. I had actually already made a version of this illustration and titled it New Worlds and then I read about this SF cover remodel project. Strange coincidence. I reworked my earlier picture into this cover.

Edited as I am stupid and did not get the picture thing to work at first... ]]>

For example my own design, someone could be inspired to write about an astronaut waking up in a white void staring at a universe the size of a bowling ball (if the writer had been drinking a lot and ran out of good ideas).

@mrmcdaniel: love the top illustration, colors, and the NEW portion of the logo

@FredG "Hope you didn't edit because of my story comment" I did, you had a fair point (which I didn't take as criticism). I'd not like to bend rules too far, I want the threads to keep going. ]]>

@Ed Sullen. I love it, very eyecatching.

@Paul Sizer. Hitting another home run Paul. Showing us all that less is definitely more there.

Not the world's most original idea I know, but it gave me a chance to mess around with a few new pshop techniques. Quite pleased with the how the hand (which is mine, by the way) turned out. It has that 70's airbrushed feel to it which reminds me of all those charity-shop brought sci-fi books I used to own. ]]>

I recently did some commissioned fantasy art for our own Magnulus (which some of you may have already seen on twitter) and I thought it would kinda fit with this week's theme - so I hacked together this cover using some of it's elements and a few others. I pictured it as a super low budget sci fi fanzine, made by people who haven't got a clue what they're doing. *Note Magnulus' co-star-the disgruntled Andre Navarro- running alongside the Akylosaur. ]]>

My favourite bit is how Magnus is driving the Akylosaur- all nonchalant, using a tiny wee toe chain...Heh, originally I had planned to have Andre playing the role of the grasping brunette Frazetta girl, but someone once told me never to challenge a Brazilian's masculinity (even though I know Andre would have probably gotten a good laugh out of it. Right Andre? Wait...Andre...jebus...put down the chainsaw... it was just a jo* -BBBZZZAAWWWWWWNKkkk *splatter*)This poster was fun- again, it was tweaked to fit this challenge, but the actual final, colour poster is much different and (at 17x22) will be EPIC... and I'll post it to the Artist's thread in June.

Sorry for a quicky this week, it's been quite hectic so i didn't manage to complete it... ]]>

Clone Artist: I like how you got a bit "messy" with this one; lots of little hairs and scragglies in there that look really good.

leighwoosey: I love whatever that picture is (water drops on a window? Is it a photo or a computer effect? I can't tell...). The dots of color are really cool.I have to admit that I was stumped all week with this one. I had an idea, but just couldn't make it work, and I started maybe 5 different drawings that I ended up scrapping because I didn't like them or they weren't going anywhere. This lady's anatomy may be a bit weird because I was just sketching, really, and didn't put much planning into finishing this, but ended up going with it. I think I quite like it, but had to make it square to get in closer on the art... ]]>

Not just for the spectacle, but to remind us that there's ALWAYS a different way to approach stuff, and to not always fall back on safe and predictable solutions. As I've said before, these are always a great creative kick in the ass/2x4 across the head to keep me honest and thinking about why and how I solve visual problems. ]]>

i really love yours! if i haven´t misunderstood your previous comment, you said you´re still working on the woman? have you seen the Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" opening credits"? : there are girls with kind of circuits over the skin...

@ALE, thank you,man! that´s amazing! made me think on a venusian machinery for conquering earth : ) how did you make it?

the visible-grid technique is an accident produced by the short working time, but i would like to control the effect... since the title´s done by pencil on a paper, anybody know some softwate for transfer a drawing into vectors? (or hand designed typos to digital?) ]]>

Between the pen tool and Live Trace, which should do quite well with clean, solid lines like yours, you're pretty much set. Naturally the interweb is chock full of guides on this. ]]>

Wow that takes me back, I have a blue and white 466 sitting not 3 feet from me that I just bought a new video card for so I can see what old projects I have on it. What you'd be looking for is anything CS2 or higher, I'm almost certain that machine will run cs2 if not cs3. Alternatively you can try and track down a copy of Adobe Streamline, which is what Live Trace used to be before it was folded into the Creative Suite. Drop me a line if you need more info, don't want to derail this into a tech support thread.
